CISO Insights: Voices in Cybersecurity

As physical operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) connect to cloud analytics and enterprise IT networks, the gap between physical safety and cyber threats vanishes. Cyberattacks on energy grids, manufacturing lines, and municipal infrastructure can cause physical downtime, equipment damage, and public safety risks. This episode explores OT network segmentation, passive monitoring, and cross-functional IT/OT security strategies to protect critical physical assets.

While fault-tolerant quantum computers are still evolving, threat actors are actively harvesting encrypted corporate communication today to decrypt it later once quantum processing arrives. Transitioning enterprise infrastructure to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards requires identifying legacy RSA/ECC algorithms and building crypto-agile architectures. This episode explains national PQC migration timelines and provides actionable steps to evaluate cryptographic exposure across enterprise assets.

Modern enterprise software relies heavily on third-party dependencies, making developer pipelines and CI/CD workflows primary targets for supply chain attacks. Adversaries inject malicious code into open-source repositories, exploit unrotated API tokens in public cloud spaces, or manipulate build pipelines to compromise downstream targets. This episode outlines best practices for securing developer environments, enforcing automated dependency scanning, and managing secret rotation across automation platforms.

Advanced nation-state threat actors like Volt Typhoon avoid traditional malware downloads, instead "living off the land" by misusing legitimate built-in administrative tools like PowerShell and WMI. By disguising malicious actions inside normal network administration traffic, adversaries pre-position themselves within critical infrastructure and enterprise networks undetected. This episode examines behavioral detection techniques and baseline monitoring to catch stealthy lateral movement before operational impact occurs.

Traditional annual compliance training often fails to prepare organizations for chaotic, high-pressure cyber incidents. Incident Response (IR) "Game Day" exercises and tabletop drills simulate live ransomware attacks, deepfake executive requests, and supply chain breaches in a controlled environment. This episode breaks down how to design realistic tabletop scenarios that test communication trees, decision velocity, and cross-department coordination between IT, Legal, and Communications.

Week 1 + 2 Contest/Skills winner is William W, for a tabletop called “Deepfake CFO Call.” A treasury team gets a Teams call from their CFO, on camera, asking for a $1.86 million wire. It isn’t her. The attacker reset her MFA weeks earlier with a cloned voice. It scored 90 out of 100. Congrats, William. https://tabletopsec.com/
